Very interesting.
This is the one where he says we are only 6% of the world population and therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem. He talks about diplomacy and the use of force and how either alone would fail, and the importance of negotiations in resolving problems. It is typical Kennedy - practical, reasonable and sensible. Compare that to the stubborn idealism of our current President and you begin to long for the good old days.

Bush should be proud..
A very interesting speech, one of the better ones JFK gave, that talks about even though the US is a big superpower, how we shouldnt take the power for granted, after all, they are a nation among many, the population is only like 12% of the world. It's sort of interesting to hear that compared to todays "take it or we'll bomb ya" approach the Bush admin seems to take..
